Thank you, Kind Sir!!! I'll let you know...........#23 Thanks so much! Just saved me some $$$$$$ One more question my dome light does not go off when in middle position, is it supposed to dim after door closes?

I really appreciate your help! It's crazy I basically looked at striker and it started working!! I did run my finger over it, maybe it had build up? Also tried passenger door first as well, it worked. Would like to get the Bentley book, Pricey$$. Yesterday my friend closed passenger door and door handle snapped right off in her hand! All the plastic is so brittle! Thanks again and have Great Independence Day!!!!!

How many miles and what motor does your 1999 have?
What needs replacing besides the door pull handle that broke?
If you could find that handle in a pick a part yard, you would have to break off its plastic post to remove it from the panel.
That post is is one of the handle's three attachment points, with it's plastic tip melted and flared out behind the panel.
The photo shows a new handle with intact, unflared plastic post.
